Although Ming Jia and Lou Xiaoyun are old acquaintances, Yan Meng and Ming Si do not have much contact, so Ming Si does not understand what kind of person Yan Meng is, not to mention that Yan Meng is good at disguise.
Mingsi glanced at me and deliberately said tentatively, "Yan Meng really listens to you. You asked him to help you make an appointment with Tang Jun and he did. It shows that he still has feelings for you."
I frowned slightly, and I knew what she was thinking without Ming Si saying anything else.
I said directly, "Mom, Yan Meng and I are not the kind of relationship you imagine. We are just friends at best, nothing more."
As if he could see my displeasure, Mingsi stopped talking and changed the subject: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's eat."
After dinner, Mingsi and I took a taxi back to Ming Mansion.
The housekeeper came to the door to greet me and took the shopping bag from my hand.
Seeing the empty living room, Mingsi asked suspiciously, "Where's Mingyuan? Hasn't he come back yet?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly, "Didn't he go out with you? He never came back!"
I comforted Mingsi: "He must have gone to have dinner with Qiu Qiu."
But by this time, even if you are eating, you should have finished your meal.
Afraid Mingsi would be anxious, I took the initiative to say, "I'll call Qiu Qiu and ask."
I dialed Qiu Qiu's number and waited for a moment before the call was connected. Before I could open my mouth, I heard Qiu Qiu say -
"Goodbye, Uncle Mingyuan!"
I breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed they had just finished.
"Hello?" Qiu Qiu seemed to be in a good mood.
I explained, "Nothing. My mom and I returned home and saw that Uncle Mingyuan hadn't come back yet, so I thought I'd call you to ask."
Qiu Qiu chuckled: "Okay, okay, don't worry, your uncle Mingyuan has already driven back. He's a man in his thirties, are you still worried that I'll kidnap him?"
It's so inappropriate again, leaving me helpless for a moment.
Qiu Qiu didn't need my answer. He just smiled foolishly, very excited, and praised Mingyuan highly.
"But Shanshan, I really think your uncle is a genius! He spent just a short while in my shop, and he analyzed the situations of the cats one by one, handled them perfectly, and even came up with a marketing plan for me. It's incredible! He's like a god!"
The corners of my mouth twitched twice. The last time I heard her praise someone like this was her idol, Yan Meng.
but--
When did Mingyuan become so enthusiastic?
When Qiu Qiu wanted to add him as a friend before, he had rejected her with a cold shoulder. How come he suddenly changed his ways and even came up with a marketing plan for Qiu Qiu?!
I sensitively sensed that something was wrong.
I glanced at Mingsi, walked outside, and asked Qiu Qiu anxiously, "He's suddenly so eager to help you. Could it be that you agreed to some unequal treaty with him?"
Based on what I've learned about Mingyuan over the past few days, he won't meddle in other people's business unless there is sufficient incentive for him to do so.
Of course, this does not include the Ming family’s own affairs.
Qiu Qiu chuckled and said mysteriously, "Well, let's keep this a secret for now."
Sure enough! She must have promised Mingyuan something.
I felt a little uneasy. Although Qiu Qiu was usually quite smart, her intelligence was nothing compared to Mingyuan's.
I worriedly warned her, "Qiu Qiu, my uncle is a very smart man. You'd better be careful and don't let him sell it out."
"Got it. I'm exhausted after cleaning up all day. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep. Stop nagging me."
Qiu Qiu hung up my call impatiently. I held the phone and sighed in my heart. I just hoped that these two people would get along well and nothing would happen.
